This may sound dramatic, but making the wrong shoe choice for your wedding night could prove to be the biggest mistake of your life. Because for all of the planning, money and time that goes into your big event, the last thing you want is to be hobbling around in agony while your guests are doing the mambo without you. Here's what you need to know before saying "I do" to a shoe.

Timing Is Everything
Don't buy your shoes before your dress, but do get them as early as possible. Why the rush? You need to know the height of your heel before you can alter your dress. If you get the dress altered in flats, your full-length gown could end up looking tea length when you slip into a higher heel. Also, buying your bridal shoes early will allow you to wear them around the house and get used to them in advance, which is a must. Spending your entire wedding day or evening in new shoes could result in blistering, hobbling and complaining and make even the happiest bride cry.
